[APP] Multi-User App Share

I have created an app that will help share apps across users on google's new 4.2 multi user feature.
Thanks to mentose457 and unwired for giving me the idea.
see this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994169)
It works by removing package elements from user's package-restriction.xml file to add the app and adding the package element back to remove the app. (located at \data\system\users\10\package-restrictions.xml where 10 is the user's id)
This is quickly thrown together and will likely have a ton of bugs, but I wanted to go ahead and get it out there for testing.
- This is BETA
-You must have ROOT
- This changes system data on non documented files it could screw something up.
- I'm not responsible for any problems this causes or lost data or bricked or broken devices
- please use cation
- it is currently built to run on main user to enable or disable apps on secondary users (once root is fully working on secondary users I will see about making it run correctly on secondary user's account)
- not tested thoroughly with paid apps*
- does not currently support system apps**
- due to the way I pull the app list from the package manager some installed apps may not show as available to add/remove
- apps installed first on a secondary user's profile will probably not show in the list to add/remove
*paid apps seemed to work but I did not have internet access during testing. My theory is that any paid apps that use Google's license verification will not work or not work for long. So adding your Google Account to the secondary user's play store is probably still the best way to share paid apps.
**The entries in the xml for system apps is different. Therefore I will have to research them more before getting it to work or deciding not to mess with those apps. Currently some will show not installed on other users even though they are and removing/adding them will not work correctly.

I'd love to get feedback to what is working and what is not. Also if anybody figures out anything more about the package-restriction.xml file I'd love to hear it. Especially when it comes to system apps.

Thanks mate added my sons Google account and it is all running perfectly. Seperate saves and account details for apps and allowing me to share my paid ones with him
First review on play store is up.
Will have a mess around with apps and report back but it appears to be running sweet at the moment

I wanted to chime in as well. It is working on AOKP. Thanks again jeepguy04.

Looks like it's working for me too :thumbup:

Strange, I'm rooted. Using root apps such as cache mate, titanium & sixaxis.
Multi user app enabler says not rooted.
So does root checker??

On the first 'owner' account I'm rooted, but the second user account doesn't recognize root in apps shared through multi user app.

That is a known issue (if you want to call it that). For me it's not a problem as my second user is a guest just like on my computer.

I know, that's why I quoted the user I meant to answer
It wasn't meant as a negative comment, as I think this app is very useful.

I tried this with ten games and all worked fine (free and paid) except Retro Racing. It works with primary user but crashes with secondary user.

Do you think it is possible to have a shared folder for fotos and musik for multiple users?

some one post the apk my devices are not compatible lol

Great idea! My solution involves just buying everyone their own tablets.

Should work on any tablet running 4.2 (or phone if your custom rom enables the multiple user profiles)

Currently I only have it available in the market to tablets to avoid confusion for people wondering why it doesn't work with their phone. Maybe I will change that since only nexus devices or phones with custom roms are running 4.2. Those users tend to be a little smarter and know if their phone has multiple user profiles or not.
Here is a link to the apk for anybody that can't see it in the market.

The shared folder idea is interesting but beyond the scope of this app. Probably could do it with symlinks or something (not very knowledgeable in linux). Maybe I will look into it and either make another app or find a way to make it fit in with this app.

Yes. Symlinking the photos/music folders outside /data/ should work. But I don't have a 4.2 device(nor willing to set up an emulator) so I'm unsure.

Looking forward to trying on my p5113 CM 10.1

Why the full network access and google play billing service permissions?

Google Play billing service is for accepting donations via in app purchase. Under settings anybody can donate if they feel the app has value to them... so far I've gotten two $1 donations...lol
network access is for connecting to internet for ads and also for ACRA (Application Crash Report for Android) it basically sends error reports to me to help fix errors. It can be disabled under settings if you do not want it reporting errors.

Thank you sbrissen for developing for this awesome device and all of our donaters who made it possible! None of this would have happened without you guys
You will lose S Pen and other Touchwiz functionality if you flash this but here is how you can get some of that functionality back! Thanks weehooherod2 for his tips!
weehooherod2 said:
1. S Pen works (try out the app Papyrus as a replacement to S Note, Papyrus does utilize the S Pen button as well).
2. Air View works (Go to settings, Language & input, check "Show icon when using stylus".
3. The S Pen button works (Go to settings, Language & input, Stylus gestures, those all use the s pen button).
4. Pop up browser = OverSkreen from the Google Play Store.
5. I use the 4.2 Camera on Touchwiz anyway. There are plenty of good camera apps in the market if you want more features.
6. Multiwindow, I don't know of an alternative. Onskreen's Cornerstone could surely do it!

I'm going to try this fix for A2DP
Code:
Looks like sample rate is missing in the at a2dp line in the "audio_policy.conf"(/etc) line "sampling_rates 48000" and the 44100 needs to added before the 48000 with this "|" symbol and it should look like this "sampling_rates 44100|48000".
After changing the sampling rate reboot your device in order for it to take effect.
Edit file with root explorer text editor.
Before:
sampling_rates 48000
After:
sampling_rates 44100
Will report results

Initial notes...
- Keep getting FC on AOSP keyboard, leaving me unable to do anything requiring a keyboard (like signing into my Google account). Got around this by installing apk of 3rd party keyboard
- Can't get camera to connect at all. ("Couldn't connect to camera")
- MTP doesn't work, but I was able to mount my SD card as Mass Storage
- Added my Google account, but I got a FC for "Google Account Manager"... the account was added but it won't sync
- Since Google account is having sync issues, cannot connect to Play Store either ("Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]")
- Data worked when downloading a language pack for SwiftKey, but doesn't seem to work with Google's servers
- Home button doesn't work
- Was able to get GMail to sync successfully... seems that the Play Store and Calendar are stuck
This is running very smoothly otherwise. Thanks for the quick turn-around!
Also.. I know this is in alpha and I'm not complaining about these bugs above in any way... just bringing them to attention to help with the bug catching process.

Did you wipe data/cache and have you flashed the gapps for CM10 4.1.2?

Good Looking out

Hmm, I restored from a backup and it seems to have wiped my sd card. I got an "SD Card damage notification" in the status bar and the only way to fix it was to format the card. Oh well, you pay to play. Might not happen to everyone but it might be a good idea to backup your internal and external memory going forward.

Google Play Services on v5

I installed v20a on my G3 which came with Google Play Services 1557022-730
I updated this with Google Play Services 6.5.87 1599771-438 after reading that this the correct file for Android 5
Not sure if I should have done this. I'm not having any issues but think I should ideally install a 730 variant. The trouble is I can't find one anywhere.
Anyone have a 730 apk or know where I can get one? APK Mirror has every variant apart from 730.

I think you'd have to downgrade. I installed the 6.5.87 438 too. Didn't see anything weird, apart from the usual nlp wakelocks.

i installed that version too, but some things don't work, such as smart lock (for me), and when connecting to smartwatches, it says 'sync loop', it is connected, but drains too much battery.

Oh... I wouldn't know, I don't use any of those features. I have severe slowdowns due to synching, but I'm greenifying Google Play Services, and I think it doesn't like when I do this.

Seems the new version compatible with lollipop has been pushed today so I guess no need to tinker with this apk file

Guess this is the one to install now:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...oogle-play-services-6-5-87-1599771-430-2-apk/
In case another version was installed (like 438 or whatever) that needs to be uninstalled (in order to do that disable the Play Services - Android Manager from Security -> Device Admins; uninstall updates; apply the new version and re-enable things in security).
LE: Trusted places is enabled with this new version but I am not sure it actually works
LE2: Trusted places indeed works! Just my location was off.

In my case, it works at home but not at work (maybe GPS reception is bad inside the building)

What I did to make it work was "teach" it some locations based on network which seemed quite accurate but weren't spot on as the GPS ones (and also my home location seemed to be way off before - guess I set it up randomly before since it was in the general "ballpark").
Off topic but helpful (I hope):
Also as a tip, if you want to force the lock screen (and temporary disable smart lock) you can just tap the "lock" icon that appears on the screen - for me that was not that obvious (though now makes sense since it kinda works as in stock lollipop).
Still LG kinda made a mess of the screen and it's a shame they use only half of it for notifications and keep the bottom half restricted for unlock options. Maybe in new versions they will reconsider a strategy similar to what stock does ... but that is highly off - topic.

On APK mirror is mentioned that the 730 versions turned in 430 versions. I have 430 installed now and seems to work just fine. At the moment I couldn't find a 730 newer that 6.1.88 which comes preinstalled.

I just flashed the (slightly) newer version of 20a - had the lgbbs version before - and this came with Google Play Services 438.

There is the Poland version which comes with 6.1.88 (730) and the lgbbs version which I am not sure what contains (I didn't check when I had that installed). Which slightly newer one did you flash?
Nevertheless 438 seems reasonable, being the highest dpi available, however I can attest to the fact that on the 20A Polish version with 438 I didn't get trusted locations however that gets enabled with 430 (of course using play services version 6.5.87).

I got the one from this xda thread
Doesn't seem any different apart from coming with Google Play Services 438. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, only just finished setting things up.

Interesting, I got 730 ... well, good to know, I am curious though if you flash play services 438 from apkmirror if Trusted Location gets enabled ... would be interesting to know ...

Trusted locations only appeared after I enabled GPS - by default the G3 has battery saving location mode set.

Having said that the trusted location is a bit too wide to be secure. I use Tasker to switch off security when connected to my home network.

Google Stock Dialer/Contacts apks

Here's the stock google dialer and contacts app I pulled from my nexus 6 when i had it. It's not the motorola framework dialer and contacts, but pure google stock. They are in separate folders. I've also have a few that I've pulled from the web as well. I hate the ugly skin that lg uses, and miss the true material look from Google.
You HAVE to be rooted for these to even remotely work. Use root explorer or whatever app you use, mount rw and install as system apk (go to system>priv-app). Folder will need rwxr-xr-x permissions. Give app r-r-rw permissions. So far, contacts are working and I've gotten the google in-call ui to work by placing the apk in the lg in-call ui after renaming the original lg-ui. Can't get the dialer to install. LG skin is deeply rooted in thier framework, so it's kind of a pain. I'll keep digging into this to make some progress. In the mean time, if anyone else wants to chip in and help out, please do so.
In the link to my drive folder there will be 4 files. One of them is a flashable zip named GoogleContactsDialer (credits to whoever put this zip together. Wasn't me). Another should be the dialer in non flashable zip, and the other files are the respective standalone apks. I would suggest flashing the flashable zip, as it has the libs folder included.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Byd-3B8ICYfpY1hqODhhMzd4S3M&usp=sharing
**UPDATE**
Ok everyone, I have a quick second to give an update (getting up at 0430 is killing me right now lol) on things in reference to the dialer. Make sure you are using the flashable zip. The separate apks are ok, but the zip makes things easier.
Basically most hassle free method I have used to get it to be the primary dialer and contacts app is by using TB to freeze these 2 LG Dialer and Contact applications that are listed below.
*Call 4.60.79.10
*Contacts 4.56.18
I'm using KLWP and Nova for most of my homescreens. I'm linking the Google dialer apk to whatever phone KLWP icon using Nova Activities>Google Dialer>Phone(com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity; make sure you select this one). For those that use Zooper, the same method would apply.
In reference to getting the dialer icon to show up in the app drawer on its own, I'm still working on that.

Glad it worked for you. I used the flashable zip, but can't get the dialer to install. What did you to get it running? The contacts app works for me, but like you said the LG UI takes control sometimes. I may remove the LG call/contacts apks and see if google will run by default. Of course, I'll back everything up before I do.

Sorry guys that I've been MIA. Work and personal life have been really busy. I didn't remove the LG apk but just froze them with TB. So far the LG Contacts app doesn't override which is good, and I've set Google Contacts as my default. I'm trying True Caller but honestly don't like it. The Google dialer kicks in but it's random, and it doesn't show in my Nova app drawer. I'll get back to working on this when things slow down for me.

I am, for now, stuck at the dialer. Not enough time to play with it and, as you mentioned, it is not showing up as an installed app in the launcher. What did you do to get a launcher icon for it? I am running the latest Nova beta for now.

Updated the post. Let me know if this helps you any. I'm still working on the dialer showing up in the app drawer or just being able to place the icon on the homescreen. Going to play around with different launchers on my next few days off starting Sunday.

I wonder if one you that's had success with this might be able to offer some assistance...I flashed the Google contacts and dialer zip and froze the two LG files recommended by the OP and all call functionality was disabled. I could launch the Google dialer but could not receive calls. Did I miss a step?

Like you said, it is working - mostly. I no longer see the dreaded LG dialer (yippee!) but a couple of minor anomalies remain.
On an incoming call I do not get a full scree caller id and swipe to answer as I did on the N4 device;
Like you, I had to use Nova to create the desktop icon (which is no big deal I suppose);
When I bring up the dialer I see a "Speed Dial" tab but I don't see all my favorites (starred contacts). I tried clearing cache and data for the dialer but is not showing me the same starred contacts as the Contacts app;
Other than the above it seems to work quite well.
[ EDIT ] It seems that there is a difference between the contacts storage that LG maintains and what Google Contacts/Dialer maintains. I cleared data and cache for both, the LG Dialer and the LG Contacts app - note that in my case they were both frozen so I had to use ROM Toolbox to do this - and had the system re-sync contacts with Google. All of the sudden ALL my favorites show up as expected and, incoming caller Id is now displaying as it did on the old Nexus 4. Yippee! Apparently some minor issues can be corrected by reinitializing the contacts database on the phone.

Did you start out with a clean, well working system or could it have remnants of previous attempts to install a dialer? Most of my troubles came from the fact that I missed to clean somethng up from a previous attempt.
Essentially, I did not do much different from the OP. Starting with a clean system (I backup frequently with TWRP when I experiment with new things!) I flashed the zip file, rebooted, created the desktop icon for phone, froze the 2 LG modules with TiBu. I also copied the Google Dialer apk to the LGInCallUI folder in priv-app and renamed (but not deleted) the LG version which did not seem to make any difference to usage (I was hoping for a full screen caller Id).
As noted above, it seems to be working quite nicely with the 3 1 caveats I listed.

Themes / Apps / Mods [Anxious] OOS v502, Companion v346, True Silent v2, Verizon PU v16

These modules are made for personal use. If you have an issue it is likely on your end. It's like running OOS 10.5ish w/ OOS 11/Pixel 4 Pixel 5/9 Pro/server side features via a whole lot of sed. The "thoroughness" of this OP is to minimize the need for back and forth between us. All OOS 11-11.2.* should be supported. Remains to be seen what changes with Color OS based OOS.
Anxious OOS v502 features:
(Template - Magisk module installer)
Android 12.1 Emojis, Blurs, Immersive Navbar, Nova Launcher w/ Google Feed, Pixel 5 features (device personalization services, flags, google phone framework, overlays), Premier Tier, 9 Pro Camera
Anxious OOS Companion v346 features:
(Template - MMT-Ex 1.6)
Anxious Kernel Script - Infinite Pills, Infinite Alcohol | Gboard - Faster Voice Typing, Google Lens, M2 (telescoping gif, tenor autocomplete, trending search), No Spacebar Branding, Ogg Opus Encoder, Pill Shape, Pixel Props, SODA, Tenor V2 * Languages (autocomplete, trending term, suggested search term), Tflite (emoji predicition, main word predicition, triggering model), Translate Dictation | Google Duo - In Call Effects w/o FPS Cap, Message Captions, Opus FEC, Outgoing Call Camera Switch, Restrict Low Bandwidth Logging, Video Processing-Sink, VP9 Hardware, 720p (for most things) | Google Phone - Duo Handover, STIR/SHAKEN (carrier/os support required), VVM (all carriers) | Google Photos - Cache Aware Video, Jpeg Backup Quality 100%, New Video Editor Backend/Frontend w/ Export Frame
True Silent v2 features:
(Template - MMT-Ex 1.6)
Silent .ogg file for notifications. Useful for apps like Facebook Messenger that don't respect notification channels properly. Seperate module so less reselecting when debugging anxious module. Also doesn't need to be uninstalled with OTAs.
Verizon Plus Ultra v16 features:
(Template - MMT-Ex 1.6)
Fixes for using Verizon on the 7 Pro.​
All feature lists are constantly changing. Not everything is listed. Because sometimes the modules put you front in line for a/b server testing of literally anything Google.
The embedded links for some features are just links to what I consider to be a good enough explainaiton of the feature.
Google is your friend, I am not.​
Support:
Basically none. This is made for my personal use. If you don't follow the instructions, you'll probably end up in a non-boot/bootloop.
What I'm Using:
Kernel - Kirisakura 1.3.9 R
Magisk - Stable
Rom - 11.0.4.1.GM21AA (7 Pro)
Do not use Open Beta/AOSP/LOS/etc... with my modules.
There are no special instructions for updating, unless stated otherwise in a release post. The below install instructions are not meant to be followed for updating.
Prerequisites:
You need "Busybox for Android NDK" and I strongly recommend "Cross Compiled Binaries" with sed installed to /system/bin. They are on the magisk module repo.
How to install:
1. Read entire OP. Reread entire OP. Do it again.
2. Install "Overlay Mount Fix". Skip to next step, if it fails to install.
3. Uninstall Google Framework/Phone, and/or Nova Companion apk, if any/all are installed. Go to the Play Store listing for Device Personalization Services and click uninstall, if it's available. Reboot, if you uninstalled any modules. There are probably other modules you should uninstall. But that's your problem, not mine.
4. Install "AnxiousOOS_v*.zip". (Magisk Manager only)
5. Reboot.
6. Install Google Phone as user app, you can use apk from companion module, from apkmirror, or clear Play Store data and then it should be offered by the play store.
7. Clear Play Store data if you didn't in step 6. Then update apps that now have an update in the Play Store.
8. Set up Device Personalization Services, Google Phone, i.e. grant all permissions (including "Draw over other apps" and "Modify system settings"), set as default phone app, spam app (search "spam" in settings), open app and set up available features. Don't forget to check all Settings>Apps and notifications>Special app access and check all of them for the aforementioned apps + Google apps (hit overflow menu and show system).
9. Install "AnxiousOOSCompanion_v*.zip". (Magisk Manager only)
10. Reboot.
11. Clear Play Store data
12. You profit.
13. Donate.
14. I profit.
15. Install Verizon specific module. Reboot. Reset APN defaults (search "sim" in settings, 1st suggestion>sim 1>access point names>overflow menu), if using Verizon module.
16. Call Screen/Hold For Me.
17. 100% jpeg quality.
Download(s) faq:
Q: Can you provide a mirror?
A: No.
Q: Why?
A: Mega is very mobile friendly and collects no metrics, I can't even track the number of downloads!
Changelog:
Will be available on each release post. I will not compile a changelog in one post.
Magisk:
Don't use anything older than the latest stable magisk.
Tips/Troubleshooting:
You should check "Settings>
Security & lock screen>Google Play system update" for an update. My modules might enable being on the latest. Might not.
If any app is reported as unsupported in the Play Store then clear the Play Store's data. It should work after that but a reboot might be needed sometimes.
Google has the ability to break pretty much anything with server side updates.
Clean installs of roms will probably have better outcomes, if it didn't work.
The app that live caption exists in, is called "Device Personalization Services". If it's not available you need to manually enable the service. I recommend this app manager. While you're at it you should enable all activities, providers, receivers, services. I also suggest using App Ops and Shizuku (required for App Ops functionality). All the linked apps also make debugging/troubleshooting easier.
Random:
You should read the Magisk documentation and MMT-Ex wiki.

Thank you

A lot has changed compared to the old instructions, so I'll gradually update the OP to reflect helpful FAQ, improved instructions, etc...

I also may have figured out how to get the latest Google Play system update. But that's unconfirmed. Since I don't have (or want) testers.

Welcome back! I'm glad to see you back on here hope that whatever you had going on in your life was resolved.

At least 10 years off till a refutable research facility would even consider injecting my retina with stem cells. And I won't have a diagnosis on my lung nodules for months or longer. But it would be the slowest growing metastatic colon to lung cancer my oncologist has ever seen but I currently have my bets on a benign inflammatory condition or pulmonary fibrosis as a result of chemotherapy. Haven't found a bookie to take my bets, yet...
But now I can be hella rude to people who don't read with the two eyes they have because I essentially have one eye lol.

Thanks for this, finally.

Or following the instructions.
You're not going to get any helpful support from me with one sentence posts that demonstrate you didn't follow instructions lol.
There are many "it"s you must install. And not everything is in the OP because I shouldn't have to tell users on a developer forum that something like a Terminal app is required when I say modules are needed as prerequisites that require a Terminal app for set up of those prerequisites.
The kernel has absolutely no effect on making this work or not. And you thinking so demonstrates the "learning curve" for my instructions are to difficult for you.
You're going to waste your time if you're gonna spend time trying to get the right kernel for something that doesn't need a right kernel.

yes it was installed .. what changed the alarm clock .. changed the calculator and install the google phone from the play store ... so you mean it is not a simple magisk module? have other necessary settings through a terminal to work correctly?

If you expected some drastic visual changes this isn't it haha
So far so good here, nice having working voicemail in Google phone app.

"& "Cross Compiled Binaries" with the bare minimum of sed installed to /system/bin. They are on the magisk module repo."
Can you elaborate here? What's sed? And why they should be installed?

Installed it, everything was working except one snag, my settings was FCing everytime I tried to go to the app section.
It's something on my end most likely as I am using Bliss (which is different than your rom,) and it probably isn't compatible.
Love the work regardless and again I'm glad to see you back!
